Why I provide at-home pet euthanasia

I first taught high school when I graduated from undergraduate school, and quickly learned that being on stage every day in front of 120 teenagers was not my ideal scenario. After some soul searching, I realized being a Veterinarian was what I always wanted to do (my Mom later found 3 x 5 cards with medical records that I kept on all my stuffed animals as a child). With a 3 year old daughter in tow, I went back to Vet school and have never looked back. Of course, love for the animals is the primary focus, but I also love the connections that I have made with the animals' human families over the years. I have enjoyed all aspects of my working career- preventative medicine, surgery, dentistry, as well as euthanasia. But with the veterinary industry as busy as it is right now, the stress of in-clinic euthanasia for the pets as well as their families has become so overwhelming that I now want to focus on making our pets' final times as stress free as possible.
